Due to differences in monitor settings and lighting conditions, the actual colour of the fabric may slightly differ from what you see on your screen.
Gefest-480 is a heavyweight 480gsm pure cotton protective fabric with a flame retardant finish. Smooth satin 5/2 weave. Gefest is a flame retardant fabric specifically designed for welders working in extreme conditions on offshore oil platforms, in dry docks and in naval shipyards. Gefest is an extremely durable fabric due to its innovative composition of long staple cotton fibres twisted in warp and weft. The fabric is so strong that it’s impossible to tear with your hands. Gefest-480 flame retardant protective fabric is intended for professional welders’ clothing in various fields such as mechanical engineering, metallurgy, oil and gas pipeline construction, automotive, etc. The satin weave of Gefest-480 is extremely useful in welders’ overalls, bibs or aprons as it allows molten metal droplets to easily run off the smooth surface of the fabric. Made from natural fibres, it is very soft and comfortable to wear and at the same time protects against the risks of flash fire and electric arc.

Industrial wash vs domestic wash — what's the difference?
Industrial laundering. EN ISO 15797 simulates professional industrial laundry with controlled washing and finishing procedures.
Domestic laundering. EN ISO 6330 uses standardized household-machine programmes. It is not the same as industrial laundering; follow the finished garment's care label.

Bleaching is prohibited
Gentle tumble drying at a reduced temperature of 60°C, reduced drying time and reduced load size
Ironing at a soleplate temperature of up to 150 °C - corresponds to the symbol in the form of two dots on the iron's thermostat

Frequently asked questions
Can I order less than a full roll?
Yes — every fabric can be cut to length from one metre at the listed price, with no cutting surcharge. A full roll (50–70 m of fabric, 100 m of reflective tape) is the better deal for production runs: trade accounts get individual roll and volume pricing.
How long does delivery take?
Orders ship from warehouse stock in Poland, Romania and Portugal: 1–2 business days within Poland, 2–7 business days across the EU, 4–10 outside it. Orders of €100 or more (incl. VAT) ship free to every EU country.
Do the prices include VAT?
Catalogue prices are shown ex-VAT, because the correct rate depends on who is buying and where the order ships from. Checkout shows the exact VAT for your order before you pay — EU businesses with a valid VAT number buy cross-border at 0% under reverse charge.
Is the stock reserved once I order?
Yes. The moment you place an order, the quantity is booked for you in the warehouse for seven days — time enough to arrange payment and paperwork. Availability shown on this page is live warehouse stock.
Can I return fabric?
Uncut rolls and packed accessories — yes, consumers have the statutory 14-day withdrawal right. Fabric cut to your metreage is exempt by EU law (it is cut for you from a larger roll), so order a test metre first if you need to verify the material. Details in the returns guide.
